So last week I heard about the first confirmed case of Ebola in America (in Dallas, TX) and a friend at work brought up a possible scenario. It goes something like this:
The hospitals and local governments will likely manage the quarantine poorly, and, since Dallas is a highly populated area, the disease could start to spread. Knowing our opportunistic government, it is likely they would call for a 2 week shut-in to "help stop the spread" by keeping people indoors. This would happen close around the November elections so as to keep people from voting.
That last bit is quite the speculation, but the idea of a two week shut-in got me wondering: "am I prepared for having to stay inside for two whole weeks, possibly without running water and electricity? What things would I need the most?"
Not too hard to figure on this one, but do we have these things lined up in case we get stuck at home?
Bottled water for drinking and extra water for washing
Non-perishable foods, such as canned and dehydrated (keeping water usage in mind)
Cleaning and sanitation products like soaps, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, etc.
Any necessary medications and supplements to maintain immune health while living a likely dormant lifestyle for two weeks.
Methods for disposing of trash and bodily wastes (especially without water, look into the bucket with sawdust).
Self defense methods and plan (for the crazies who don't mind helping spread the disease by trying to commit crimes when the police won't venture out).
Some methods of entertainment to keep up your spirits and the ability to stand your family (or roommates, for that matter) for at least two weeks straight!
On that note, I keep hearing awesome things about COLLOIDAL SILVER and its abilities to kill almost EVERY harmful invader that can come into your body. Keep your eyes and ears open to where Ebola is spreading. Remember that it takes a couple days to a couple weeks to manifest, so don't take contact with others' bodily fluids (of any kind) lightly. No need for a preemptive shut-in either! Be safe, y'all!
